OFF File
OFF (Object File Format) is a file extension used for ASCII text files with geometric data for 3D polygonal objects. It can support standard 3D triangles, quads and other generic polygonal shapes. Autoconverter is our standard OFF file converter which allows you to convert OFF file format into any other mesh file formats. While Autoshaper our other OFF file converter allows you to convert your OFF file into smooth NURBS shapes. However using the OFF file you can't convert materials, textures or group names from other advanced 3D file formats.
STEP File
STEP (STandardized Exchange of Product) is a very popular file format for the data 3D exchange between different computer systems e.g. CAD, CAM or CAE. As the STEP geometry data are stored in a text form you can expect bigger file sizes when exporting triangular meshes with thousands of faces using the Autoconverter software. However, if your geometry defines manifold solid it will try to create optimized faceted STEP brep representation which should reduce STEP file size by one-third. The STEP file format supports colors per assembly, but without the alpha component, therefore any transparency setting will be lost in the final STEP file.
